About time. It's absolutely ridiculous that this hasn't existed for the past 10 years.
drob518•1h ago
Exactly. Yes, please.
gscho•1h ago
Just make the repo private?
ethin•1h ago
That doesn't work. What if your repo is a mirror of another repo?

"I am fine with my code being public, but I am not fine being badgered by people about changes I have no interest in." is a perfectly valid stance.

yeah, I thought they were going to provide some sort of rationale as to why they've never implemented this. instead this post just basically goes "yeah, you guys have been asking for this feature for 10 years, and... it's a good idea! let's do it."

They need to talk about how the pr itself should change. The text diff just is not the right thing to center. We should be using ai to chunk changes into reviewable bytes and to align on semantics and contracts.
